    Being a recovering Alcoholic I enjoy a smoke on holidays. I only get a Q twice a year, Holidays and a bit for xmas. I just throw it in my toilet bag and always on check in luggage. total value 25 euro. I would only bring a bit if travelling in Europe but would not try Turkey (Midnight Express :eek:) nor US or Asia.
    Yes I am drug smuggling 25 euro worth for myself.
    Anyway, My question is, I have done this for years, But, If I was caught with that amount in Europe what would happen ? Ruined holiday ? Prison ?
    For some reason I don't think it's worth it anymore, my luck is bound to end !

    Would you not stick it up your arse to feel like a proper drug smuggler?

    I'm sure that would give the smoke an interesting aroma!

    Just buy it when you get there, absolutely nothing you can be charged with anywhere in Europe anyway.

    Don't mess with the travel part of it, not worth it.

    We were on j1 in college and one of the lads brought some on a flight between New York and Vegas which I thought was stupid, he didn't tell any of us either

    I doubt your boot hash would even be detected if a sniffer dog smoked it

    Do people still smoke hash?

    I thought that went away in the early 2000s, along with bootcut jeans and dial-up.

    Back in the 1990s I often brought a few bags of grass home from Amsterdam, back when good grass was rare enough here. Maybe IR£30/40 each time.

    I haven't smoked any of that sort of stuff in a long, long time but I imagine that with the way airport security is these days the chances of being nabbed are much greater than back in the 90s.

    On a side note - blow is term used for cocaine in North America. Here, blow was a term for hash. Again, this is 1990s speak.

    Blow was always hash in Dublin. I wouldn't trust American slang after an incident with a fanny over there anyway.

    I bring yokes out to Spain all the time if I am going on a dance weekend. No problem, if you are going to be nabbed it will be on the Spanish side. I really could not give a flying about them.

    Most of what people smoke has been up a few different asses(mules) or worse places so the aroma would be the least of my worries if I was to buy any blow or hash or whatever the cool cats call it now.

    Do you reckon the lads are sticking Spar bags full of bud up their hoops to get it from the grow house in Leitrim to the mean streets of Greystones undetected?

    When I was backpacking years ago , I fly from Singapore to Australia and there was this young English lad (about 18) and his bird on the same flight.

    He brought his bong and a bag of weed seeds from London to Singapore and on then to Australia.
    He got busted in Perth airport on the flight from Singapore.

    They just took it off him and he wasn't fazed. I tried explaining to him how bloody lucky he was not to have been caught in Singapore - he laughed at me .
    Then I laughed at him - the knob would have done a couple of year stretch for that.
    Another English guy nicked a pair of sunglasses in the airport shop - got sent down for a month or two I heard

    Has no one seem that Johnny Depp movie "Blow" about smuggling cocaine? That's always my frame of reference for the usage of the word!

    Take it through in your mouth, maybe a 10 spot either side... and in the unlikely event of someone noticing, you could just swallow them with a drop of water.

    btw, does the smoke help coming off the booze?

    The oft use phrase 'hookers and blow' is usually associated with the suited gentleman, business and limousines.

    Marijuana of course doesn't fit in that picture.

    Marijuana goes with twix bars, and mouldy couches.

    So blow must be cocaine.

    or possibly clarky cats.

    Also from memory the pornographic series 'hookers and blow' had, for its cover, a young lady indulging of cocaine which is carefully balanced in a line on a gifted gentlemans member.
